Best: Weber Summit S-670 Grill

Best: Weber Summit S-670 Grill

Price: $2800

Six main burners, a side burner, a rotisserie burner, a sear burner, and a smoker burner . . . holy cow! The lighted knobs alone will make your mouth water. The Summit is big enough to cook 24 burgers at once—good thing, because you’re going to be everyone’s favorite host.

Budget: Kenmore 4-Burner Gas Grill with Split Lid

Budget: Kenmore 4-Burner Gas Grill with Split Lid

Price: $400

Grills in the lower price range won’t last as long as expensive steel mammoths. But if you want a solidly constructed, reliable rig that will keep giving you good burns for the next five years, turn to Kenmore.
